The Cosmic Silence.

True silence is not the absence of sound, in fact it is that from which, not only sound, but all things that exist in the universe have come from...The True Silence, in which the Creator of this universe resides, from which the whole creation has come, resides in, and shall finally merge into, is familiar to all and yet a stranger to them..."At the peak and culminative stage of meditation, when all thoughts have vanished and all memories departed, then That which remains behind, is the True Silence...and in This Silence alone, lies the potentiality to meet god or our True Self, for they are two sides of the same coin."

The Sound of Silence...

Silence too, has a sound, but to hear it, you have to stop all internal chattering and become still within...it is called "Brahm Naad" and can be heard in deep meditation. Sound is a vibration which emanates from a source...but here the sound has no source for its origin.

A true friend is one with whom you can spend long hours in silence...and yet, not get bored...in fact, you miss his presence, when he has departed. The closest resemblence to such a bossom friend, is your own True Self...who is so near to you; and yet, so far...

in moments of meditative silence you can talk to Him...who is not different from you!
